  • I-75 in Hamilton County Project Termini
    I-75 in Hamilton County Project Termini Introduction As part of the North South Transportation Initiative (NSTI), capacity improvements were recommended for the I-75 corridor through Hamilton County from the Brent Spence Bridge on the south, where I-75 crosses into Kentucky, to I-275 on the north. The NSTI was a planning study conducted by the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) that evaluated overall transportation needs at a broad level and considered substantial public input. ODOT has also recognized the need for capacity, access, and safety improvements on the I-75 corridor. ODOT’s Highway Safety Program and the Congestion and Safety Initiative both identified major portions of the I-75 corridor for study to address capacity issues and high accident rates. Improvements to the I-75 corridor and its interchanges would be extremely expensive and unlikely to be pursued in entirety within the typical planning horizon of twenty years. According to the OKI Travel Demand Model, of the roughly 160,000 vehicles per day utilizing I-75 in Hamilton County, only about 25,000 (16%) are truly through-trips, with both the origin and destination north of I-275 or south of the Brent Spence Bridge. Therefore, ODOT believes that benefits may be provided to the majority of motorists even if only portions of the corridor are improved at any given time. In other terms, well- defined projects on I-75 within Hamilton County would have independent utility even if the entire corridor were not improved. The NSTI planning study considered the corridor only at a broad level, which did not allow for any detailed examination of needs or the impacts or benefits of any proposed solutions.

  • Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Report
    Comprehensive Planning Workshop Spring 2010 Niehoff Urban Studio 2008-2010 Mill Creek Watershed Scenario Project Spring 2010 Executive Summary This report is a collective presentation of the studio process undertaken by the University of Cincinnati’s School of Planning 2010 Spring Comprehensive Workshop. The focus of the workshop was the Mill Creek Watershed, a 166 square mile area in southwestern Ohio. The Watershed has reached a critical state due to a multitude of both internal and external factors including industrial flight, environmental degradation, building vacancies, unemployment, auto dependence, and a worsening national economy. While numerous organizations construct and implement plans for the future of the Watershed, a lack of regional collaboration often results in little progress. Over the past century, the Mill Creek brought industry and increased population to the Watershed area. Today, the Mill Creek still remains a valuable natural asset. Urbanization has taken its toll, however, and both water quality and riparian corridor health have suffered. Another area of concern is the loss of population in the City of Cincinnati, and corresponding redistribution to the suburbs. Limited transportation options have worsened this outmigration by encouraging auto dependence. Social and environmental justice issues coincide with declining economic and environmental conditions in the Mill Creek Watershed. Due to its uncertain future, planning in the Mill Creek Watershed requires the consideration of multiple possibilities for how the area will transform. This Workshop used the scenario planning approach to establish four plausible outcomes for the Watershed. Scenario planning seeks to open discussions about how things may unfold, providing the opportunity for individuals and organizations to look beyond their individual plans and concerns for the future.

  • Oasis Phase I History/Architecture Reconnaissance
    Phase I History/ Architecture Reconnaissance Survey HAM/CLE – Oasis Rail Corridor Commuter Rail Project (PID 86463) June 05, 2013 Phase I History/ Architecture Reconnaissance Survey HAM/CLE – Oasis Rail Corridor PID 86463 April 2013 Prepared by: Mary Anne Reeves, M.A. Principal Investigatory Andrew Schneider, M.A. Amber Taylor, M.A. RPA TranSystems Corporation 1105 Schrock Road, Suite 400 Columbus, Ohio 43229 (614) 433-7800 Lead Agency Federal Highway Administration EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TranSystems Corporation conducted a Phase I History/Architecture survey for the proposed HAM/CLE – Oasis Rail Corridor commuter rail project (PID 86463). The project initiates in downtown Cincinnati and follows the existing rail infrastructure along the Ohio River and to the Milford Interstate 275 interchange. The project will also evaluate alternatives for new station locations in conjunction with the proposed commuter rail service. The study area is an irregularly shaped area encompassing approximately 8.7 miles through Cincinnati beginning downtown south of the Great American Ballpark off Mehring Way and ending at the interchange of Interstate 275 in Milford (Figures 1A- 1AE). The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for history/architecture is defined as structures located on adjacent parcels or within 50 feet of existing rail infrastructure, starting at the Roebling Suspension Bridge to Wooster Pike and from Broadwell Road to I-275 (Appendix A, Figure 1). In addition, the APE includes several ‘station location study areas’ developed by the stakeholders. With the proposed project located near downtown Cincinnati, a majority of the study area consists of urban, commercial and residential development. A literature review conducted at the Ohio Historic Preservation Office (OHPO) indicates that 50 properties in the APE are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including 47 buildings, two cemeteries (NR# 79002706 and 79002709), and a set of brick arches from the 1872 Newport and Cincinnati Bridge (NR#01000363).

  • Executive Summary Stand Alone Version.Pdf
    1 Executive Summary The OKI region is a major link in America’s freight transportation network. More than 323 million tons of freight flow into, out of and through the region annually. About one-third of this freight is inbound, destined for major businesses in the region such as General Electric, AK Steel, Toyota, and Schwan Food Company. For these and hundreds of other businesses, transportation is their lifeblood. Fortunately from an economic development standpoint, the OKI region provides a powerful nexus for truck, rail, barge, and air transportation. More than 80 percent of the region’s freight moves by truck, so major highways and local roads are vital to regional commerce. Interstate 75, running north-south through the region, is one of the heaviest truck corridors in America. The region is also home to major railroad facilities including three intermodal terminals, three train classification yards and numerous industrial sidings. Together, the region’s three railroad companies handle almost 100 trains per day. Barge terminals are critical to the region’s heavy industries. While just 10 percent of the region’s freight moves by barge, its low cost is essential to shipping bulk commodities such as chemical products for DuPont and scrap metal for AK Steel. For time sensitive cargo, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) offers service from major parcel carriers such as FedEx and also serves as the North American hub for DHL. The DHL hub at CVG employs more than 1,800 people and total freight has increased 190 percent since 2009. For many years, transportation planning has focused on moving people by automobile or public transit.

  • Transportation Options in Greater Cincinnati Every Day, Most of Us Get
    November 2014 Study Pages – Transportation Issues 1 WHAT MOVES YOU? Transportation Options in Greater Cincinnati Every day, most of us get to work, run by the grocery store or meet friends without ever thinking twice about how we arrive at our destination. For many, travelling through our community is as routine as hitting a light switch. Transportation is about moving people and goods from one point to another – point A to point B – safely and easily. Transportation in the Greater Cincinnati area can be described as auto-centric. Many people rely on cars to get to work, school, appointments, recreation and other activities of daily living. To get around in the region, in addition to private automobiles, other means of transportation include: public transit, bicycles and walking. Each has advantages and disadvantages, upsides and downsides, benefits and detriments. How well each method functions and how well it connects with other forms of transportation can influence the area’s economic, environmental and community health and vitality as well as its land use and development. Each transportation mode uses infrastructure funded with public money. The interstate system is funded primarily with federal money from the Federal Highway Trust Fund; transit buses may be purchased with federal dollars and local match but are operated with local money. Communities make decisions about how much to invest in these various modes of transportation and what is the appropriate or desirable balance, that is, how much of each mode ought to be available. Travelers make decisions about which mode to use and/or purchase. Providers of goods and services make decisions about which mode to use and/or purchase based in part on cost and time.
